BTW From a safety point you always remove the negative cables first. If you don't and short the positive terminal to ground nasty things can happen. Then remove the Magnum cable and restore all cables.

BTW The first thing you should have done before wrenching was to take pictures so that you can verify the re-connections.

I did take pictures before removal, That is why I know they are correct. Nothing has changed in the inverter as far as settings go. That's what has got me stumped. I had noticed that the last couple of times that my batteries were not charging fully. Thought that I may have been leaving something on and running them down. Last trip out I had to use emergency battery to start engine. Had to do it the same way yesterday to start engine, that is what got me started to thinking I had bad batteries and now it has just snowballed into bigger issues.

I am not sure how your inverter is set up but mine DOES NOT charge the chassis batteries. It only charges the house batteries.
If you had trouble starting your coach, that indicates that your chassis battery is discharging or bad, and may be a separate problem from your house batteries overcharging. A chassis battery discharging rapidly could also be a mirror heat switch left on or any number of items left to draw power.

I can't say honestly if mine charges chassis batteries either. The manual is not very clear on this. Not very good on electrical issues. The chassis batteries test good as well. I hate issues like this, because I have no real good idea on what to look for. I appreciate everyone's help on what to look for. that is a BIG help.
